Simplistic and working great

This is my new favorite Mac SIP client. (If you want something more robust, may want to check out X-Lite and Linphone)

It is so simple. Just like a telephone. Look up the number, Dial, hangup, and redial.
The keypad works for dialing extension. This is a must for me and is surprisingly not available on many of the Sip clients.
The phone quality is clear, and no problems so far.

The dial dialog lacks a little polish. Typing a user’s name displays the user’s name and number together and is a little ugly.
Typing the number does reverse lookup adding the name of the user. A very nice touch.

Also, the response of hanging up has a lag, and I often redial a person while trying to disconnect.

Configuration:

It was a little tricky to get running for me. But with only 3 checkboxes, it didn’t take that long.

The developer’s site does have a great faq, with references to logfiles and the like. I didn’t realize this until after I got everything working on my own.

Personally, I love Alfred (with powerpack), so I just linked the person’s telephone number to the url scheme “sip:”.
Unfortunatly, a different sip client was issuing calls, but used the dated RCDefaultApp to link “sip” to Telephone.
After fixing the url scheme, it works great. very cool.

Open Source:

The source is also available on GitHub, so it is easy to submit issues and propose patches. Very cool.
Previous poster mentioned security and hinted that it was going through a foreign country. The code is right there so you can verify any strange behavior.
